Speculations, the pitstop run was speculate by Peachthe one about Meghan not being able to do the roadblock was because Caroline was struggling with it, and given she's a singer and should have stronger lung capacity.. and so in hindsight Meghan might struggle with it.

Nothing is given, just speculations of possible outcomes. But doesn't look good for teamyoutube after Meghan's pic

Pic of Meghan just getting her route info clue after the roadblock, seems like its night there... do we agree?

According to a post somewhere in this forum (I can't remember), the sunset in Edinburgh on Dec. 3 was I think 3:42 p.m. So this doesn't entirely say that Joey/Meghan fell behind due to Meghan's incapability to the RB.

I see ZERO evidence that Meghan could not do the RB or that they fall behind in the caps. Feel free to SHOW me some if there is any?

Also, my Pitstop run comment is only SPEC, they could just as easily be running into the house, we do see them leaving their car somewhere....

Could just be the lighting in the area of the house they are reading the clue.

I don't see why everyone sees joey and meghan as such a weak team comparatively to the others.. If you actually pay attention there has yet to be a task that they have struggled to complete so far in the race, in contrast with some of the other teams who have struggled multiple times.. They were quite afwul at directions however but have seemingly gotten better at it in Berlin. Botswana taught us that in a race to the finish, they may pull through... I really dont feel like they were eliminated this leg.

But for people who just get annoyed by them, fair enough, joey shouts a lot..........

I don't think Meghan will have a ton of trouble with the bagpiping.. at least not any more than others, she actually does sing as well for youtube videos her voice isn't as strong as the country girls but she probably has good lung capacity. But in order to play bagpipes you also need strong stomach muscles to really shoot the air out of your mouth into the instrument with enough force to play the notes (I was asking my friend in school who plays the bagpipes what is necessary to play them.) Meghan is very active and an extremely healthy eater and I'm sure Joey trained her like crazy (as he is an extreme gym buff) before the race, so I think she has a very slight edge over the country girls. In my opinion the hockey boys will be best at them just due to strength in the abs, then roller derby moms, then Meghan and joey/country girls, and last Max (I don't think he sings or is very strong judging from how youtube beat them in unloading the wood at the donkey race). Don't underestimate the youtube team they've been portrayed as weak and I'm not sure why because except for getting lost they have done very well at the tasks. One thing is certain I can't wait for tonight!!

Just speculation, but I also agree this looks like a pitstop run as they do not have any clue on hand and not look like trying to find a clue.

Another speculation is that why it seems no one is thinking Caroline/Jennifer may u-turn Bates/Anthony? It seems foreshadowing last leg that they realise it's time for them to break the alliance with the hockey players when it's almost to the final. I would not be surprised if it turns out that C/J u-turn B/A and then J/M may have a chance to u-turn M/K to save M/B.

Yea, I agree, most of the people are more concerned with the breaking of the J/M and M/B alliance, but both scenarios are possible. But today (or tomorrow for me) we will figure it out everything. The only thing I want to add is: If teams have the possibility, they should U-Turn their main threat, B/A. Let's see if they use the U-Turn smartly!

From the press picture it shows Caroline/Jennifer are doing the detour at the second table from the window, while from pic 27-29 it shows Max/Katie doing that at the third table from the window, and the table next to them seems not yet used by another, can we assume at this point M/K are ahead of C/J?

I tried to take a look at the clock behind the Country Girls in an HD video and it seems to me the hands are around the 10 and the 3 so its most likely 2:50 since there is still light outside... so I'm almost sure there is some kind of equalizer since according to Joey "They aren't getting there until 4 pm" but still its not that great quality even in HD

"They aren't getting there until 4 pm" for me means that J/M and M/B get their flights first and start being happy about that fact. After that, I assume ALL teams will be able to get in the same exact flight and will get there before, and that's how they can be performing the RB at around 3pm. Previews are always trying to make us feel confused. Joey & MEghan and Mona & Beth will not get a flight advantage, I expect.

I wouldn't be surprised if C/J U-turned B/A if it came down to the wire.

Also, has anyone thought of a scenario where some teams didn't use the U-turn?

And another thing I've noticed: Is it strange that there are no press pics of J/M? There is a picture of every team doing a detour except for them. I don't know if that means something, but it could be that the producers didn't want to give away who got U-turned.

Another thing I was thinking about was Mona and Beth's detour decision. Aren't they normally wanting to do more physical detours? Could it be that they had originally did the "barrel rolling" detour and got U-turned which forced them to do the "haggis" detour?

If we speculate that J/M and M/B both got U-turned, this would put both teams at the roadblock at the same time (as seen in the promos).
